Mitt Romney stopped by Late Night on Friday to chat with expert Romney impressionist Jimmy Fallon and promote his new Netflix documentary, Mitt. By far the most entertaining part of his appearance was the above segment, in which Romney joins Fallon for his always fun “Slow Jam The News” gag.

No one expected Romney to have the chops Barack Obama displayed when he joined Fallon for “Slow Jam The News” in 2012, but Mitt’s turn is surprisingly not terrible. He doesn’t stray outside his wheelhouse; instead he serves at the robotic straight man trapped amid the soulfulness of Fallon and Questlove, and he gets a few good one-liners in there. It’s an especially fun watch if your stomach’s finally ready to revisit the talking points that were hammered so hard during the 2012 election.

Just for fun, here’s one of Fallon’s best Mitt Romney bits, “Mister Romney’s Neighborhood,” which he reeled off shortly after Romney’s infamous debate comment about cutting funding to PBS:

The most amazing part of the Mitt documentary is the election night scene. His family and inner circle had so completely bought into the bullshit unskew-the-polls alternate reality churned out by the right that they were completely blindslided by the loss. They hadn’t even drafted a concession speech, they were so sure they were going to win.

I guess it’s too much to expect a middle-aged Mormon to know Biggie’s commandment about never getting high on your own supply.

It reminded me of the Spike Jonze film on Gore. Behind the scenes, you can see a real human being, but something happened with the handlers that just made him look like his worst possible self on the campaign trail.

Eh, by some of the accounts I’ve read, Gore is a world class asshole behind the scenes. He once chewed out his son for getting a bad grade in front of his secret service by saying “If you flunk out of private school, you’re gonna end up like one of these guys!” and pointed to the guy who’s literally supposed to take a bullet for him. Seriously, if you haven’t read “In the President’s Secret Service”, you should just for the LBJ stories alone. Nixon = disconnected mutant asshole, Nancy Reagan = asshole, Hillary fired dudes for the pettiest reasons, Bill was a super cool guy who could never stay on schedule, etc.

As for Mitt, the problem with him was he didn’t seem to have that ability to empathize with the American people. You need charisma to do that. I personally see the same problem with Hillary.
